There is no config file to change, you have to change the way you call<br>
Claws Mail itself. For instance, by editing the shortcut so that<br>
you add --alternate-config-dir "e:\path\to\your\config\dir" to the<br>
command-line. If you're not comfortable with such operation, prefer<br>
installing the program and the run-time config directory to the<br>
standard default C: drive.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>wwp: <br></div><div>I thought that some config file had to be edited. I looked at clawsrc and could not find any reference.
